Item Name:
Cut Opal Turtle 10mm - Black with Green Fire
SKU:
CO-WRF-TURTLE-10MM
Description:
This is a pre-cut, turtle-shaped opal accent with a black base and green fire. It is made to be used as a decorative inlay in lampworked glass, giving you a crisp, recognizable silhouette with a bright color flash that stands out strongly against clear or lightly tinted borosilicate. This style of cut opal is used when you want a clean, repeatable design element without having to hand-shape the stone yourself, making it ideal for production work and for consistent themed sets.
How it is used:
Bring your glass to a stable working temperature and prepare a seat for the opal by creating a shallow pocket or landing where the stone will sit. Warm the opal gradually near the edge of the flame to reduce thermal shock, then set it into place and use controlled heat to tack it in. Once positioned, you can frame it with a clean bezel of glass or partially encase it depending on the look you want. Keep the heat even and avoid blasting the opal directly with a harsh, pinpoint flame. Anneal the finished piece on a schedule appropriate for your glass type and the overall mass of the work.
